Excellence, Outreach, Innovation

Our department’s work extends far beyond the classroom. From introducing school kids
to the wonders of Shakespeare, to helping members of our area's international community
learn English, our faculty, staff and students actively seek out ways to serve the
greater good. Here is a glimpse of the Department of English and Philosophy’s efforts
to meet, and exceed, key imperatives—excellence, outreach and innovation.

in and outside the classroom.
